So...what do you mean by "old"? Just anything that's ended? Cause then we got anything that lasted from '68 to...well, anything that just ended like Bari Haken. (still voting but still...)

So nobody scanned a raw for Kuroko no basket? o_O

Well I would say patience is a good deed but yeah it's taking long for some raws (don't forget eg mago, toriko, etc) to come out

 

[StrangerAtaru]

Mago and Toriko nothing, Gintama isn't even out...and that's a long-running series!

Don't feel bad. English is the second hardest language in the world to learn next to chinese. Even if you've been speaking it your whole life. =P

That is actually not true but offtopic anyways >.>

Spoiler: offtopic

Chinese is said to be the hardest writing system (for Western people) to learn because of the amount of symbols. The grammar is actually very easy. It's also very hard for those not familiar with a melodic language (giving a word several different meaning depending on the pitch of the syllables).

English is not easy but by far not the hardest language to learn, especially not for natives of the same language family (German, Dutch). Finnish and Hungarian are counted as hardest to learn for Germanic language natives since they differ greatly. German is a very hard language to Asian natives. It's in the end, a very subjective thing since it's easier to learn a related language than a language from a whole different language family.

As for Kuroko no basket, the Raw is in 'the works' from what I heard. Shouldn't take to long now till it's up.

 

[Maxy Barnard]

it's more that i'm not a very mentally 'there' person anymore. which is fun!

and on topic, TOC prediction time!

Toriko number 3 Bakuman number 6, Inumaru Dash number 8, sket number 9....

yeah that'll do

That was interesting. I am not really surprised at the simpleness of the chinese grammar. I am currently studying japanese and I am astounded at how easy the grammar system is. Much simpler than spanish.

wow its pretty much tuesday and still no Toriko? At first I thought it got lost in this jumbled mess of a design, but it's really not there. We'll have Naruto spoilers before Toriko at this rate, lol

 

[Luckyman]

I'm having trouble finding stuff too, especially, the scan dump. That was a great idea, especially for those of us who have an interest in the entire JUMP issue, not just the star players. I can tell the new design has some advantages, but everything is haywire for me.... D:

 

[Imitorar]

Sennin Buraku (仙人部落, Sennin Buraku? , roughly Hermit Village) is a manga series by Kō Kojima which runs in the adult magazine Weekly Asahi Geinō, published by Tokuma Shoten in Japan. It is the longest running comic with only one artist, being published weekly since October 1956, and the longest-running strip ever in Japan.[2] By contrast, Golgo 13 is the longest running manga to be serialized in a dedicated manga magazine with Doraemon the second longest, and Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo (Kochi-Kame) the third longest (Asahi Geino is not a dedicated manga magazine).

That article says that Doraemon ran for longer then Kochikame has. How is that possible? Doraemon ran from 1969 to 1996 according to Wikipedia (even though Wikipedia itself says that Fujiko Fujio broke up in 1988, which itself confuses me), which is 27 years. Kochikame started in 1976, so it's run for over 32 years. How is Doraemon longer, by any counting system.

Don't trust Wikipedia. >_< They probably pulled that information from an article that was written before Kochikame surpassed Doraemon.

Does anybody have a large version of the color page from Kuroko no Basket? I wanna update my signature. =P

 

[ttxdragon]

feel free to go to http://mangahelpers.com/downloads/?lang=jp and download the raw for kuroko no basket there I doubt that version is too small

 

[Sexy Randal 105]

I just realized it was out but thanks. =P

 

[Maxy Barnard]

Day three of relevant pluggin: WORST (or overrated if you so wish) WSJ series:
http://community.livejournal.com/weeklyjump/112721.html

again be an LJ member, and the other two polls out there (in my sig) end in three and four days respectively, so hop on it!

Not really too much to say: Nishi's back, Sket continues to rise in it's "middle of the mag" winning streak (as does Psyren), Mago goes through growing pains and...To-Love is dying.
